A Gambler Tells the Truth.

In many of our cities Just now
some sensation is being created by
spasmodic efforts to enforce the
gambling and Sunday laws. There
is no need of sensation in the mat
ter. The trouble is, that too often
officials are trying to make the peo-
pie believe they are determined to
do their duty, when as a matter of
fact, they are friendly to the law
violators. Any official with the
power, who viii calmly announce
his determination to enforce the
laws Will have no trouble in doing
so, and will, in addition, have to
make very few arrests-as the law
viii be obeyed wherever an ofGeias
is known to be honestly in earnest.
The following statement of San
Antonio gambler is the truth, and
to the point: 1--WE were led to be-
lieve by promises of politicians and
others that open and fair gambling
would not be objectionable; that
the people were tired of the way
the business had been run while
the law was enforced some months
ago. Ii they want us to quit they
needn't go to the courts to compel
US to do so. Just let the officers
come and say that we must stop,
and that Will be the end Of it
There are none of US but will quit,
and if the Imprisonment provision
is so construed by the courts as to
prevent convicted gamblers from
working out their prison penalties,
why, gambling will be stopped.
Let any officer tell me he viii jail
me if L don't quit the business and
I'll quit"

The following from the William

The people of this county should

people to get along until another
crop is made. But there are many
portions of the state in as bad, and
some in a worse, condition than
this section. If there are any who
believe they can better their con-
dltion by going to other parts Of
the state they had better think the
matter over carefully before NOV

At Gainesville, ayoung man and
a young lady were TO be married,
and quite a number had assembled
TO witness the marriage. A little

horseback at her home, leading a
horse on which was a side-saddle.
The lady ran from the house, was
assisted to mount the horse intend

Boston, September 2S.-The corridors
of the fremont House were filled with del
egates to the Republican State Convention
at an early hour this morning.
The main topic of discussion was the
nomination for the Attorney Generalship,
which seemed to have been practically set
tied in favor of Hon. Albert f. Pillsbury.
Chairman Burden called the convention
to order, and after a brief speech the usual
committees were appointed. The Com
mittee on Organization reported in few
minutes, and Francis W. Rockwell, OF
Pittsfeld, was made Chairman. Rock
well was greeted with great applause and
he addressed the convention at considera-
bic length.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Rockwell s
speech, which was frequently interrupted
by applause, the Chairman of the Com
mlttee on Resolutions reported the plat
form declaring in favor of protective
tariff, liberal appropriations for the navy,
civil service reform, and an honest ballot
North and South.
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted, not one dissenting voice being
heard
Mr.. HOar then took the platform and in
brief address nominated Oliver Ames, OF
Easton, for Governor. The convention
nominated Mr.. Ames by acClamation.

Lieutenant Governor, unanimously.

ST. LOUIS, September %. The first gun
of the coming conflict in the c. A. X. was
fired tonight in Central Turner Hall.
Late to-day call was sent around for q
meeting of veterans 10 consider the pen
sion question, and tonight about 1900
assembled in the Turner Hall. The meet
ing was secret, and no one but members
OF the order were present. The Chairman
was appointed, and the meeting had been
scarcely organized before 1t was discovered
that the majority of those present were
men who had extreme views on the pen
sion question.
Half dozen speeches denouncing the
administration were made, and then two
Democrats made warm replies, and calling
on their political friends TO follow left the
hall Alter the Democrats had retired the
pension sgitators took steps to form Ma
tiOnal Pensioners Society and adjourned
until tomorrow, when it is expected a ma
tional organization will be effected. The
story of the withdrawal of the Democrats
has caused big stir in camp.

comrades was of political or partisan char
acter. The C. A. K. will never consent
that this question of pensions shall be
classed among those which men commonly
call partisan. 1t has been for many years
discussed by post departments and Ma
tional Eucampments. Resolutions and ad-
dresses have been adopted and published,
petitions and appeals have often been
sent to Congress. The efforts OF the news
papers of the country have been enlisted,
and with few exceptions they have been IN
full accord with the order. There has
been no change of opinion or change OF
method in the ranks of the Grand Army
members. They have been of one mind
in considering it, but simple justice that
the United States should at least grant
pension of not less than $l2 per month to
all persons who served three months or
more in the military or naval service of
the United States during the war OF the
rebellion and who have been hOnorably
discharged therefrom and who are now or
who may hereafter be from misfortune
and not the result of their own vicious
habits, which incapitates them for the
performance ofmanual labor.
He was pleased to be able to report bene-
ficent results Of the operations OF the WO-
mans relief corps. The Jealous, thought
full and efficient laborso of the members have
been in the past, are now, and without
doubt will continue in the future to be,
the most convincing evidence that they are
banded together for high and holy pur
pose.
The Grand Army did not fail in the ex-
ercise Of deep and tender interest in the
society of the Sons of Vetrans.
In conclusion he said: In fraternity,
charity and loyalty we stand, proud OF the
fact that there is not now, nor has there
ever been any bitter feeling Of Late
for those of our fellow citizens,
who, once in arms against us, but
now being loyal have long ago taken their
old time places in our hearts, never, we
devOutly hope, to be removed therefrom.
We have not now, nor have we at any
time since the war closed, had any dispo-
sition to open again the bloody chasm
which once unhappily divided this people,
we not only will not ourselves reopen that
dreadful sea, hut we will with the loyal
people North and South protest against all
attempts " hiCh Others may make to do so,
by holding up for especial honor and dis
tinctiOn anything that pertains to or IN
any manner glOrities the cause of disunlOn.
With the people of the South we can

people intelligent, happy and yirtuOus.

TO foster hostile sentiment thereto.
The position taken by the Commander in
Chief ON the pension question was received
with great favor and warm approval, and
the conclusion of the address aud his allu-
sion to the South met 4 most enthusiastic
reception.
After the conclusion OF General Fair
child's address and some routine business,
the encampment adjourned until nine
o'clock tomorrow morning.

NEW YORK, September %. After mu

would not be necessary TO dock the Thistle,
and that she would remain at anchor till il
was time to start to Sandy Hook for to-

Mr.. Dickey said this morning: There

Evidently Mr.. Watson agreed with him,
for he left the dock perfectly satisfied
The workmen around the dock secuted the
idea Of the paint blistering. The unani.
nous verdict was that 1t was her shape ana
not the paint on her bottom that interfered
with her chances Of winning.
